Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis was freed from his ankle monitor and was relieved of his court-ordered house arrest in a hit-and-run case a few days ago. Bill Haney, referring to Calvin Ford as “Yo” and Kenny Ellis as “Dummy” shared a funny clip talking about Gervonta Davis’ recent relief from the GPS ankle monitor before moving on to berate Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis.

Bill Haney said, “Breaking News. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis just released from GPS ankle monitoring and what a wonderful blessing that is for boxing. But we have a little bit of confusion within the camp and community and today we have Yo and Dummy to tell us what’s going on.” Then he made it clear who he was referring to as Yo and Dummy. He played the video of Ford saying, “I’m going with Ryan on this fight,” and Ellis adding, “I don’t think it’s gonna happen because Ryan is a threat.

Then, in a mocking way, imitating a fictional dialogue between Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis, Bill Haney said, “Hey Yo we tried to keep it true. We used every excuse, including the flew. Hey Dummy, Bill Haney was on our a** like gleu. Hey Yo, if we don’t stop Devin Haney, we threw. Aye, Dummy, ain’t nothing else left for us to do.” He then added a list of slangs often used in Baltimore to explain the words Haney used in his fictional dialogue thus explaining the meaning behind what he said.

Besides these entities, Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn has also made it clear about his pick for the victory between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.
